Does tech support actually exist???

Thread needs solution

I've raised 2 tickets and one ticket on live chat, with no response. Not even an acknowledgment email. Does tech support exist for this product?

 

I am getting invalid file handle when I try to open the backup. Tried deleting and creating a new back up, same thing.

Hello James!

Welcome to the forum!

Please refer to the following KB and check if it's related with your environment: https://kb.acronis.com/content/72985

Regarding the ticket please accept our apologies. I have updated the same ticket and requested our support to prioritize the issue.

Best regards!

I think tech support is AI. Another forum member basically told me that first level support basically just reads prompts on a screen, and I believe they don't even know the product.

I hand 2 tickets, and long story short wasn't helpful.

I tried calling support, here is what happened:

First call, waited about 5 minutes, then it sounded like it was my turn to speak to someone, i got hung up on. Ok I figured it was an accident, so I tried again.

Second call, same thing.

Third call, same thing.

The only two ways to really get help on a highly technical issue is to speak to an Acronis programmer - Not Happening, or the forum here combined with some trial and error.

I can usually solve problems because of past experience, I have used many other backup programs as well, Ghost, Macrium, Image for Windows, True image 11, etc.

But for someone new and having issues, I believe the forum is your best bet.

Like I stated, first level support is people hired to read prompts and reply to whatever their screen reads, just my opinion.

Edit:

I suggest you use in conjunction with Acronis another backup software as well to play it safe. Myself and some other forum members use Reflect also. They no longer have the free version however.

The free version of Macrium Reflect can still be downloaded from MajorGeeks but will not receive further updates from Macrium.

Hello! There hasn't been any new ticket raised by you in our system (at least not under the email associated with your account).

As far as I can see, the last one was #06084384, and you confirmed the solution with our support.

It's possible that our phone lines are busy at times. In such situations, the recommended approach would be to simply raise a ticket and schedule a remote session with our support or leave a comment requesting a call, specifying your request in detail. I can assure you that we do not use AI for support.

Best regards.
